Aluminium fruit and vegetable cages complete with netting. Protect your crops, especially good for brassica. Choose from our huge selection of different sized cage kits which include everything you need to protect your garden.
We have a variety of different netting types to offer you the protection you need. Unlike other companies we do not have large spans between legs, the maximum span between legs is 1.98m (6ft 4in) ensuring the cages do not bow.
The covers are not fitted, making them easy to lift for working the beds.
Please note: snow is very heavy, if it is forecast remove the netting.
How To Use
All the cages come with instructions, diagrams and a list of contents.
The 16mm uprights (legs) are pushed into the soil for stability.
The legs are 1.5m in length and need to be pushed into the ground roughly 300mm which will give you a 1.2m erected height on your cage.
The connectors, either build a balls or joiners are used to connect the 13mm crossbars, these then connect to the legs.
The netting is laid over the cage and pegged down. It is not fitted as this would make it difficult on the larger cages to take off the netting with just one person.
The cages can be covered with fleece over winter but would need extra pegs due to wind resistance.
The cages can be dismantled and stored easily when not in use.
